Chapter 83: Help...

’’Ah... Ghost...’’ her words died in her throat when a palm pressed on her mouth and under the pale glow of moonlight, she saw a face that made her heart race.

Every feature was like that of art. The man’s light ash blonde hair was unruly just like the look in his eyes.

The young maid’s heart thumped as she glanced at the man dressed in a guard’s uniform. She had never seen him inside the mansion before but the Master’s guards never revealed themselves unless there was a precarious situation. He must be someone of an important position amongst the guards given his powerful aura.

’’Lady,’’ the handsome man snapped his fingers in front of her eyes, ’’I asked, are you fine?"

’’F-F-Fine. Thank you, kind sir,’’ the young maid blushed as the man pulled her up.

Since she was in a daze, her body collided with the man’s and she blushed even harder.

’’It’s risky at this hour and there is even a thief inside the mansion. You are a beautiful young lady. It’s not safe for you to roam around like this,’’ the man said, the sound of his deep voice made the young maid tremble.

The girl bit her lips. Beautiful young lady, he said. Ahh, he called her beautiful.

Realizing that the man was looking at her, she opened her mouth and stammered, ’’A-Ah...’’ So there was really a thief? She had heard the rumors but hearing it from this person’s mouth confirmed it, ’’T-The Madam hates dirt so we need to clean it before she sees it and loses her temper or fires any of us...’’

The man suddenly knelt in front of her in a smooth movement and tilted his head to look at her, ’’Pardon me for this,’’ Like a gentleman, he loosened the straps of her black uniform heels and removed them from her feet, revealing the red blisters on her skin as he said, ’’You should cherish yourself first before thinking about anything else. Jobs will come and go but there won’t be a second you if something happens to you.’’

The young maid was so touched that she started crying. Other than her mother, no one had cared for her. Only she knew how much pressure she had to deal with in this huge mansion.

Right there and then, she decided to give her whole heart to this angelic man in front of her.

As soon as he stood up, she pounced on him.

The man was stunned. His green eyes shone with a hint of awkwardness but as the girl in his arms cried harder, he raised his hand and patted her back.

Just as she started to calm down, the hand on her back shifted to her neck and with a soft strike, she was knocked out.

The second entrance of the mansion had a garden in its perimeter that lead to the exit gates a few meters distance where guards were patrolling intensely after Master Chen’s orders.

Behind the bushes in the garden, a beautiful maid with short blonde hair stood up.

He was the same thief who had toppled the whole Chen Mansion overnight, despite it being one of the places with the tightest security in all over the country.

The ’thief’ glanced at the real maid who was earlier crying in his arms. She was lying in the grass, unconscious, decently dressed in the guard’s uniform that he had swapped with hers.

The man stared at the unconscious maid for another moment before letting out a sigh, ’’Damn,’’ he cursed softly but unlike before, his voice was not deep and masculine.

Instead, it was a feminine voice, soft and clear.

Then, something more surprising happened.

The blond-haired man reached out and tugged at his hairline.

The blond hair was lifted off and a lock of dark hair slipped from the gap.

By the time the whole wig was removed, long black hair was let loose and the handsome thief from earlier was completely transformed into an alluring maid.

Any man who saw the sight would be toppled over just like that.

But despite being dressed like a maid, the pair of emerald eyes still contained their initial arrogance. And combined with it, there was a hint of guilt.

Daisy Chen glanced at the unconscious maid and cursed for the umpteenth time.

She hated men but she had nothing against these sweet little delicate girls.

Daisy dragged a palm down her face and feeling a cool sensation on her cheek, she glanced at the diamond mood ring on her fingers, ’’I could have given this to you,’’ she looked at the unconscious girl near the bushes, ’’But it will bring you more disaster than fortune,’’ she wanted to compensate this girl for knocking her out but this ring will only bring her trouble if someone recognized it as her belonging.

With one last look at her, Daisy started walking away, ’’If we meet again in the future, I will make it up to you, sweetie,’’ With those last words, she swiftly stepped far away from the garden area and rushed on the paved path that led to the exit.

Her fingers raked through her dark hair as she covered half of her face with her it, ’’Ahhh...’’ she screamed in panic, ’’Help...’’

The guards in the distance started running towards her when they heard her screams.

Tears rolled down her cheeks as Daisy grabbed a man’s hand, ’’Brothers, help me... I was cleaning this place when I saw a strange man looking at me. I have never seen him before. So scary,’’ she sobbed.

The usage of ’brother’ in their country was not just limited to siblings. It was used in an affectionate manner as well.

So, combined with the delicate voice calling them ’brother’ and the beautiful sobbing face of the maid, her helplessness, all the men who had hearts of steel felt their protectiveness awakening.

’’Is it that thief?" One of the men guessed and the rest nodded at the possibility.
